During February of 2012, Tehuykeav, who is from a small town of Cambodia,
was beset with continuous coughing. The only possibility she suspected was some
small problems. So she went to Battambang Province, expecting a small health
examination. Unfortunately, she was told having lung cancer.

In order not to upset her husband and child, Tehuykeav pretended to be as
calm as nothing had happened. However, every mid-night when thinking she may be
gone the other day and never see her husband and child and cook for them again,
she could not help sinking into fear. From then on, she lived on counting her
days and struggling with cancer.

Loosing the beloved?

Compared with sadness, Tehuykeav’s husband had more fear of loosing his
beloved wife when hearing about the news. So he took her wife to Thailand for
more thorough examination, which confirmed the existence of a big tumor in her
right lung and diagnosed it as advanced lung cancer. Due to distrust of
treatment technology of Thailand, they then went to Vietnam for treatment.
During March, 2012, Tehuykeav underwent 6 sessions of chemotherapy in a Vietnam
hospital, expecting that her condition would be controlled. However, it turned
out that the tumor did not shrink regardless of her suffering of the bitter
side-effects. Instead, the tumor became 1/3 larger than it was one month before.
Both Tehuykeav and her husband felt hopeless with the treatment. During the
treatment in Vietnam, Tehuykeav’s coughing became severer and sleep poorer day
by day. She could only sleep for 2-3 hours per day. Her husband was frightened
to awake by dreams and then rushed to her sick-bed to see whether she was still
breathing. Only after confirming she was still there, can he fall asleep
again.

Because of not getting good treatment effect in Vietnam, Tehuykeav and her
husband kept on seeking for other treatment after came back to Cambodia. Since
Tehuykeav was diagnosed with lung cancer in February, she has lost her plump
figure and become very thin. Her energy also has become so poor that she could
not even brush her teeth and wash her face, not to mention go up and down stairs
on her own. Seeing the suffering of his beloved, her husband fell into deep
sorrow. Their son even felt strange why his mother, who used to be very healthy,
now stayed in bed all day and could not cook delicious food for him and his
daddy.

Such bitter days did not stop until they saw the information of Modern
Cancer Hospital Guangzhou in the television one day. Without a second choice,
Tehuykeav and her husband decided to take a chance and go to Guangzhou, China
for a better treatment.

No more fear but firm confidence of fighting against cancer

In September, 2012, Tehuykeav came to Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou with
the company of her husband. Attending doctor Dr. Pang arranged a thorough
examination for her immediately to further confirm her condition. She then was
diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and that 2/3 of her right lung was
occupied by the tumor. According to her condition, Dr. Pang and other
specialists held a joint consultation and finally settled a comprehensive
treatment plan for her. The treatment plan consisted of cryosurgery, which was
aimed to kill 50%-60% of the tumor, and then two sessions of interventional
therapy, which can obstruct the blood supply of the tumor and achieve the
purpose of inhibiting and killing the cancer completely.

After the comprehensive treatment, Tehuykeav coughed less and felt no more
difficulty in breathing. She was able to go up and down stairs and deal with
daily life by herself. The most exciting thing was that the big tumor has shrunk
1/3 and the tumors in local range even have disappeared completely according to
the postoperative examination. “From then on, my husband and I fear no more and
are confident in defeating cancer”, said Tehuykeav. It was the good treatment
effect and Dr. Pang’s advanced treatment technology that drove away Tehuykeav’s
fear and gave her confidence. Moreover, the intensive care of the nurses in
Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou enabled both Tehuykeav and her husband to feel
the warmth of this hospital and be filled with hope.

Come back home

Both Tehuykeav and her husband were deeply impressed by the doctors,
nurses, interpreters and the environment of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. In
particular, the hospital provided food according to patient’s individual
appetite and often organized tourism activities. Tehuykeav and her husband once
took part in a day trip in Beijing Road, where they not only felt the exotic
cultural customs, but most importantly had a pleasant time together with other
wardmates. During the activity, they got to know each other, exchanged
experience of fighting against cancer, supported and encouraged each other. It
was a unique and helpful way in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou to help
patients.

As hospital discharge approached, Tehuykeav became eager to go back home.
Since her condition was under control, she could not wait to go home to cook for
her son and husband, so as to make up the time spent in the hospital. Most
importantly, she wanted to share with other people who are being tortured by
cancers with her experience of fighting against cancer. She wanted to remind
people, when discomfort happens, they should go to hospital timely for
examination and treatment, so as to avoid delaying the treatment and worsening
the condition. She also wanted to tell her family and friends about Modern
Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, which is humanistic and has effective treatment.
